Comedian Kathy Griffin will explain the reasoning behind her controversial photo shoot of her holding a beheaded President Trump and address "bullying"by the Trump family on Friday.

Griffin's attorney, Lisa Bloom, released a joint press statement, saying they will be holding a press conference in Woodland Hills, Calif., Fox News reported. Bloom is a civil rights lawyer who represented women who accused former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly of sexual harassment.

Since the controversial photo shoot, Griffin has apologized through a video on Twitter, saying, "I am sorry. I went too far. I was wrong."

Griffin has been cut from hosting CNN's New Year's Event with Anderson Cooper, which she had been doing since 2007.

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have weighed in on the photo, calling it "disturbing" and saying the photo has taken a toll on Barron, their 11-year-old son.
